those few verses wherein it is told that
Christ entered ship with His disciples

The no Cardinals and the MeGiyns
rBy telegraph to the Dispatch. J

New YORK, January 2S.--Cardinal
Taschereau, accompanied by Father re-
treau and his private secretary. to-day
went through Central Park TO riverside
drive at General Grants tomb. They
alighted and remained for some time.
Before going away the Cardinal took
off his hat and blessed the place.
Cardinal Taschereau said that the
case OF DR.. McGlynn had been dis.
cussed at the Archbishop's house, and
that it was unanimously agreed that
the Doctor had greatly injured his case
in allowing the parishioners of ST. Ste
phen's to act as they did toward Fa-
ther Donnelly and Archbishop Cor
rigan. Cardinal Gibbons is rather
friendly toward the Doctor, and the
Pope, he thought, would doubtless
confer with him before deciding the
case of the suspended pastor. All the
prelates. Cardinal Taschereau added,
were strongly opposed to Henry
Georges doctrines and he and Cardinal
Gibbons would take concerted action
toward securing specific expression on
them from the Holy See. Speaking
about the affairs of st. Stephen 5, the Car
dinal said that Father Cotton was only
put on trial 20 see il he would get the
rarishioners to submit to the Arch.
bishops authority. II he did not, and
if the people stillcontinued to withhold
their support, the church would be sold
and given over to the Dominicans OF
some other order in the Church.

MILE REgEA.
Adrienne Lecouvreur Magnificent,
Portrayed at the Richmond
Theatre.

An audience that testified their de-
light at every available opportunity
witnessed the performance of Adrienne
Lecouyreur at the Theatre last night.
Mile Rhea, as Adrienne, was sublime.
she gave an ideal portrait that will be
forever engraven on our memory. The
many phases of character required by
the role received from Mile Rhca the
treatment of great artistic. No one
can equal her enthusiasm when relating
her rescue by Maurice de SAKE and
what can be more delightful than the
reading of the fable of "The Two
Pigeons? One can hardly realize the
power Rhea can throw into her tragic
genes. She electrified her audience
last night. Her death-scene was a study
SO realistic that silence, as if, indeed,
one was in the shadow of death, spell
oound the audience, which as n tributs
was more complimentary than the loud
est plaudits. All who witnessed las;
nights performance were delighted.
and the remarks of the audience a.
they left the Theatre - Isn't she
create" Wasn't she magnificent? -
were spoken truly.
The support was excellent, Mr.. For

contributing to make perfect per

further mercy, venturing to suggest
that during such extension OF time he
should be strictly excluded from all
visitors except his own family and
spiritual adviser, and especially that all
newspapers or other reports from the
outside world be strictly forbidden.
What | did say about the Governor
was that to my knowledge he had i'll the
most earnest, laborious, and painsta-
king manner, sought to do his whole
duty in this case. Allow me to call at
